About Gemini Rue

Pocket Gamer: Game of the Week "You'll rue the day you missed this one."

Kotaku "There's something comforting about the cold and dreary future of Wadjet Eye Games' Gemini Rue."

Joystiq "Being able to play such a well-crafted interactive story on the go was an attractive option for me from the beginning, and Gemini Rue proves to be a great example of how the adventure genre can be adapted to a mobile platform. "

MacLife "If you like unspooling a good sci-fi detective story, Gemini Rue is well worth the investment. 4/5"

Edge Online "Gemini Rue is an accomplished homage that rivals the very titles that influenced it. 8/10"

Washington Times "It’s an old school masterpiece, requiring hours of game play that stimulates the brain rather than trigger finger."

App Spy "This is an excellent port of an excellent adventure. 4/5"

DESCRIPTION

A sci-fi noir adventure in the tradition of "Blade Runner" and "Beneath a Steel Sky."

Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for.

Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely.

As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy.

This is one of these game that you really reeeeeeealy wanna love, but can't. The controls are not bad, they're horrendous, a bloody nightmare. Story feels disconnected with a slight "lost" aroma and the whole thing just becomes a pain. Just like a tiny rock in your shoe: not horrible but profoundly annoying.

A gritty science fiction world beckons, with mystery and puzzles you can't help but wanting to solve. The graphics are dated, but the effort is beautiful and in no time you've stopped noticing the 90s blocky-ness of it all and are lost in the full world they have created. They puzzle system is engaging (if a little easy to get lost from time to time) and the voice acting truly brings this gem to life. If you like a good adventure game with a great story, then do yourself a favor and BUY THIS NOW!

This is one of those rare gems of a game, and well worth the time and money spent. I have to admit, the graphics threw me off a bit at first, as they are very reminiscent of the blocky, pixelated art from adventure games of the early 90s, but the story and voice acting really draws you in. The only real quibbles I had were the controls being a little wonky in a few areas, but overall it worked very well. The plot however, is fascinating and the adventure elements are solid. The characters feel three dimensional, even the NPCs are well done. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, even if it was a bit shorter than I expected, and consider it money well spent. I really wish there were more like it.

This is a great adventure game. Graphics look mid 90'ties but don't let that put you off. The game is full of atmosphere and has great voice acting! The story is interesting and we'll developed. Twisting and turning and making you care about the characters. There are some action sequences, something I usually don't like much as I am slow and uncoordinated. However, with the setting on easy they weren't too difficult. If you love a little puzzling and getting immersed in a fascinating story, buy it!

I wish I knew about this game when it was first out on the PC. I've just completed it and I loved every bit of it. I actually cared about the characters in this game. The graphics, sounds and music are spot on. It reminded me of Bladerunner. It's not very challenging but the story is brilliant. Well worth the price and my time.

F70%
by F####:

Love the ambience and general feel of this game, captivating story with good characters. Downsides are small - walking places and door opening is slightly frustrating at times, occasional parts of the "puzzle" to continue on the story don't feel logical and more like you just had to try making things interact with each other that aren't natural. I'd stress that these are small downsides.

I get to the new game option and the screen goes black. I hear the dialogue but no image. I've tried to reinstall the game but same thing happens. Will give a review once issue is fixed.

Old game with low res graphics, makes it difficult to discern things. Gameplay irritating and not particularly entertaining. Voice acting ok, but berating which gets quickly annoying.

Still trying to understand why the developers put a level select in the options under Commentary, when you haven't even played the game through...Kinda ruins it

Very atmospheric game which will lead you through interstellar investigations uncovering mysterious plans for creating the best worker humankind has ever had at its disposal. A dystopian novel of great quality. Recommended for lovers of old atmospheric point and click with rich plot.

I had this game on my home P. C back in the day's of Windows XP lol and i was blown away. Now I have it on my phone which is only a small cheapo Alcatel pop c1 and ITS STILL FREAKEN AWESOME! If you like investigation RPG'S get it, get it, get it, get it! (new) lost my Alcatel now using Sony Experia, wow. Did I mention that you should "get it, get it, get it " lol

Lovely point-and-click-style adventure. Tapping on the screen interacts with the protagonist, moves him, and also skips speech. However, internal monologue, and conversations with NPCs can happen without warning, and if you are busy tapping the screen at that moment you find you dismiss the information, and there is no way to retrieve it. After doing so countless times, and fearful that I missed just too much information (and getting annoyed) I gave up playing and uninstalled. Please fix!

Love it. One star because: Fix audio clipping on samsung galaxy s5. Please put an option to make dialogue unskippable. I skipped way to many dialogues and I would have to reload a save to read them again.

Proper old school point and click (touch?). Felt like the old Blade Runner game.

I have to complain about the fact its impossible to transfer the saved files to another android. I'm far int the game and bought a new phone and was unable to find anywhere an explanation on how to do that. I did even copy the folders into the new device but no save files. I have to start from zero.

Reminds me of something between a Philip K Dick and William Gibson novel. I am surprised this is the first time I've come across this game.
